I'm too a year out I'm approx 17 months out, I was at a stall for 6 months at 185.4 until I gotten a second desk job, the first week was a breeze as I was meal prepping my lunches but as soon as the reality of working two jobs that quickly faded, I was grazing all day on vending machine foods chocolate, chips, candy, and high calorie coffees just to stay awake, until one day, I stepped on the scale and realized in 3 months I've gainined 5.3 pounds i was livid seeing that scale go from 185 to 190.8 I thought well its not that bad so I continued, now I'm 193.4 and started going vegetarian Jan 1st as of march 1 I stop eating junk food and soon will turn vegan for I graze on cheese. This has not been an easy journey I need to lose 20-30 pounds to feel comfortable with myself so I totally understand your struggles, so its back to the basis for me!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
